Because we have built our academic programs on an outcomes-based education model, you have lots of latitude to design an Individual Learning Plan to achieve your personal target outcomes while also satisfying University Learning Requirements, Graduation Learning Outcomes, and Major Learning Outcomes. Given that, you should consider the following pathways only as possibilities.
These pathways serve as tools, not prescribed programs of study. Before enrolling, you can use them to get a feel for what you can do in this program. After enrolling, you and your advisors can use them as a starting point for building your personalized outcomes-based ILP.
You may need to add an extra semester or two if you choose to participate in a yearlong CSU-sponsored study abroad program. This varies with the program selected. GS faculty members try to ensure that, if you select a yearlong study abroad program, you will fulfill at least three MLOs in addition to the language requirement during that time.
Special Note
1) Entry Level Skills Tests: Student may need to complete remedial English and math courses, based on the ELM/EPT exams. Students who need remedial courses should plan at least one additional semester in their individual pathways.
2) Language Requirement: Freshman will need to acquire language proficiency through the fourth level (101,102, 201 and 202).
Students with proficiency in a language (whether from coursework completed in high school or fluency) should consult with the World Languages and Cultures Department for either placement levels or to demonstrate the knowledge and skills required to satisfy the language requirements.
You must earn nine upper-division General Education credits after you have reached upper-division status. Upper-division GE courses taken when you are a lower-division student do not count toward this requirement.
